A Description of the different PC and Macintosh Operating Systems

Windows is based on the Windows NT kernel while Mac OS X is based on Free-BSD/UNIX, something generally considered to be faster and more secure. Windows has a large number of viruses and other malware, while there are no Mac OS X viruses and very little malware. Windows requires more regular maintenance to prevent performance and also is more susceptible to accumulating problems over time, requiring re-installation of the OS.

The normal Pc's uses the Microsoft many advanced operating system. few of them include: windows 1995, windows 98, windows 200, windows NT, Windows XE, Windows 7.

Mac OS X uses Aqua which is less processor intensive. Mac OS X Leopard supports multiple desktop spaces and it has Time Machine to easily backup and restore files with an external hard drive. Frequent hardware modifications can result in prevention of access to Windows and your files/programs. Losing a product key on an old copy of Windows could pose a similar problem. Mac OS X does not require activation or consider the owner to be a thief.
